About This Method

The default method uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is widely considered the most accurate formula for estimating basal metabolic rate (BMR). This equation takes into account your weight, height, age, and gender to calculate your basic caloric needs, then adjusts based on activity level.

This method is recommended for most people as it provides reliable estimates without requiring specialized measurements. It's particularly good for:

  • People new to calorie tracking
  • Those without access to body composition measurements
  • General health and fitness goals
